I already posted in the health section but thought i should say a proper hello!
So I am mary and i share my home with two budgies, a canary, a elderly cockatiel, 2 collies, lizards and some fish..its a fun house to live in!
I grew up with there always being a bird in the house, the first being a grumpy blue budgie called georgey boy who would firmly attach himself to your hand if you went near him! he was however really fun to watch and would chat happily with my cockatiel who was my first pet who i got when i was around 6yrs old! after that budgie passed on we got given a budgie called maude (a family friends kid got bored with her..poor thing) she was sooo much fun to watch but she died suddenly with no warning which broke my heart.
fast forward a good few years i still have my cockatiel (louie) and a tiny white canary called casper who is filling my house with chirps and tweets that i have really missed (louie isnt as chatty these days!) i decided to get another budgie..and i got buddy! A very shy boy but will sit on you for a while before going off to explore...can often be found chatting through the bars to the canary that is near by! the canary now mimics buddy so they sound like they are having a full conversation! Seeing that buddy craved company I got a second budgie called Buzz, who is so so so nervous bless him. he still flutters if you get close to the cage (had him 5months now and he still hides if people get too close to their cage) and is just unimpressed by us humans in general (i am not giving up on him one day liking me! haha!) but he is happy bouncy budgie who has become a partner in crime with buddy! I adore watching them and hearing them bicker and chitchat even if they arent to impressed by me and are nervous little things (only just got them used to millet not being a scary thing!)
so hello and I look forward to getting to know you all! (and learning quite a few things along the way!
buddy and buzz!
